She Loves Me Not
Papa Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I see her eyes
Look into my eyes
Then I realize that she can see inside my head
So I close my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
This situation is to agitation
Will she cut me off?
Will this be an amputation?

I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not

Over the past five years
I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watched my fears fly away
And until this day
She still swings my way
But its sad to say
Sometimes she says she loves me not
But I hesitate, to tell her I hate
This relationship, I want out today
This is over

I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not

Life's not fair
I'm the jerk

Line for line, rhyme for rhyme
Sometimes we be fightin' all the goddamn time
Its makin' me sick
Relationship is gettin' ill
Piss drunk stupid, mad on the real
Could you feel what I feel
What's the deal girl?
Tearing up each others world
We should be in harmony, boy and girl
That is the promise we made
Back in the day
We told each other things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
Its alright baby, we can scream and shout

I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not
Life's not fair, life's not fair, life's not fair
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair





She loves me not, loves me not

Line by Line Meaning

When I see her eyes
Whenever I make eye contact with her


Look into my eyes
Peer deep into my soul


Then I realize that she can see inside my head
I understand that she can read my thoughts


So I close my eyes
I shut my eyes


Thinking that I could hide
Foolishly believe that I can disguise my thoughts


Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
Detach myself so I don't go insane


This situation is to agitation
This scenario is causing constant anxiety


If she cut me off
If she broke away from our relationship


Would this be an amputation?
Would this feel like a life-threatening injury?


I don't know, if I care
I am uncertain if I care about our relationship anymore


I'm a jerk, life's not fair
I'm not the best boyfriend, and life doesn't seem to be going my way


Fighting all the time,this is out of line
We argue incessantly, it's not healthy


She loves me not, loves me not
She may not love me at all


Do you realize I will compromise?
Are you aware that I am willing to make concessions?


Over the past five years,I have shed my tears
In five years, I've cried a lot


I have drank my beers
I've consumed a lot of alcohol


And watched my fears fly away
And witnessed my apprehensions dissipate


And until this day
Even now


She still swings my way
She still shows signs of attraction to me


But its sad to say
However, it's disheartening to admit that


Sometimes she says she loves me not
Occasionally she expresses her lack of love for me


But I hesitate, to tell her I hate,
But I'm reluctant to reveal that I despise our relationship


This relationship, I want out today, this is over
I want to terminate our relationship right now


Life's not fair, I'm a jerk
Life doesn't seem fair and I've been a poor partner


Line for line, rhyme for rhyme
Each line of this song


Sometimes we be fightin' all the goddamn time
We occasionally fight all the time, excessively


Its makin' me sick
It is irritating me


Relationship,is gettin' ill
Our relationship is deteriorating


Piss drunk stupid, mad on the real
Drunk and becoming uncontrollably angry


Could you feel what I feel
Do you empathize with how I feel?


What's the deal girl?
What's going on with you?


We're tearing up each others world
We are destructively impacting each other's lives


We should be in harmony, boy and girl
We are meant to be in sync


That is the promise we made
It's the vow we made


Back in the day
In the past


We told each other things wouldn't be this way
We ate earlier discussed that things wouldn't be this bad


I think we should work this out
I believe we should solve our issues


Its alright baby,we can scream and shout
It's okay, we can debate and argue

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I see her eyes
Look into my eyes
Then I realize that
She could see inside my head
So I close my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
This situation leads to agitation
Will she cut me off?
Will this be an amputation?

[Chorus]
I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not
Loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not

[Verse 2]
Over the past five years
I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watched my fears fly away
And until this day
She still swings my way
But it's sad to say sometimes
She says she loves me not
But I hesitate
To tell her I hate
This relationship
I want out today
This is over

[Chorus]
I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not
Loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not

Life's not fair
I'm the jerk

[Verse 3]
Line for line
Rhyme for rhyme

Piss drunk stupid
Mad
On the real

What's the deal girl?
Tearing up each other's world
We should be in harmony
Boy and girl
That is the promise we made
Back in the day
We told each other things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
It's all right baby we can scream and shout

[Chorus]
